Dukestreetking 264 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Agree, very good. Worth watching just for emotion he shows at the end. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charles Romes 682 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I have a hard time separating my feelings about Steve as a player and Steve as a broadcaster. You had to live through it to understand how good he was on coverage special teams. It was ridiculous. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CorkScrewHill 1,078 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 I liked the story of Marv getting up and saying they have a new social teams guy and diminutive Steve gets up and the disappointment in the room was palpable.. cracked me up 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
biggerdaddynj 91 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Speaking of reminiscing, NFLN is playing the ‘93 AFC championship game against the Chiefs. Thurman had a game for the ages and watching that team, so many things came back to me, the sweetest being what it was like to watch them play and how great it made me feel. It was really something special. As, Steve Tasker said in that segment, I wouldn’t trade it in for one win. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jwhit34 345 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We have a friend that played rugby at Northwestern when Tasker was there. He said the first time Tasker showed up for rugby they found out in about 10 seconds that he was such a superior athlete compared to the rest of them, like he was playing a totally different game than they were. Very cool watching those highlights, I remember most of those plays, especially the hit on the punt of the Rams guy, I remember being at that game in particular. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Let's Go Buffalo 33 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 One of my favorite players of all time! Steve came a long way from starting out playing at Dodge City Community College to where he ended up. A great story for sure! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wags67 1 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Loved him thoroughly...as I do #11 now. Will never forget ST getting tossed out of his final game! Edited January 23 by Wags67 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I loved Tasker as a player and I really don't mind him so much in his media role with the Bills now. Like a number of the great players from the last great Buffalo Bills era, he loves this town and he loves this team. Something cool about. By the way Charlie Romes, I'm still upset with you for dropping that Dan Fouts pass that would have ended the game and kept our Bills alive for another week in the playoffs during the 1980-1981 season... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wacka 1,845 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Tasker was interning on Monday mornings on AM Buffalo to get experience for his post-playing career. It was the day after he blocked the AZ Cardinals punt shown in the clip. They were talking to him about the punt he blocked and he says " Want to see it?" He pulls up his shirt and suit sleeves and the laces were still imprinted plain as day on his forearm. Edited January 23 by Wacka 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTown 116 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Tasker was a very special player on our team. How Marv knew that Tasker would be as successful as he was is mind boggling. Everyone's eyes were on him each and every time he was on the field. What's crazy is that he made big plays over and over despite teams game planning to neutralize him. One could argue that no other player has made such a profound impact on special teams since Tasker hung up his cleats. I hate reading all the negative comments about his commentary, but I guess everyone is entitled their opinion. He is Bill's legend. I certainly hope that he is inducted into the HOF.

Amaru523 103 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Every time my younger co-workers ask me about the Super Bowl years I always tell them how awesome we were when we had Kelly, Thurman, Reed, Bruce, Biscuit, and Steve Tasker. 7x 1st team all-pro. If any special teamer gets in, it should be him. Edited January 23 by Amaru523 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
